Collecting


 This image and the one below were found in a glass cabinet in an antique warehouse. The photographs were set into a brown leather wallet, which was very worn and showed signs that it was well loved. The photographs do show a family resemblance and it intrigued me as an object and as a source for my explorations.



This image shows a middle class lady around the turn of the last century. Her clothing offers clues to her status, this is evident through the intricate work on her blouse and the lace cuffs on her dress. The image is quite whimsical, and I would like to explore this quality in my work.
